BOB DYLAN - Lone Pilgrim lyrics

rate me

I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay

And patiently stood by his tomb

Went in a low whisper I heard something say:

How sweetly I sleep here alone.

The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar

And gathering storms may arise

But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul

The tears are all wiped from my eyes.

The call of my master compelled me from home

No kindred or relative nigh

I met the contagion and sank to the tomb

My soul flew to mansion on high.

Go tell my companion and children most dear

To weep not for me now I'm gone

The same hand that led me through seas most severe

Has kindly assisting me home.
